Default yfz450 shocks for z400

I was told that I could fit the front shocks of a yfz450 on my z400. Is this possible and would it be worth it. My buddy is going to sell me the shocks of his 450 cheap.

Thats an idea,get them and put them on and try them out then buy.Also let us know what you think.

You did a good job shaving them fenders they look good.What did you use?
Thats gives me an idea,I would like to shave mine too but sometimes I need them and sometimes I don't.Be kewl to be able to
attach and detach quickly the fender peaces.I wonder if I could incorporate some sort of snapping device to take them on and off.

How do you like your HMF and 175 jetting?

The pipe and jetting are just right. I got an awesome power increase. I used an die grinder w/ a disc that is used for cutting metal. Just be careful and don't let the disc get to hot or it will melt your plastic. After I was done I used a heat gun to melt the edges a litlle to make them smooth. I also went one tooth up on the front sprocket. It was clocked today at 86 MPH with a radar gun. Before I cut the fenders it went 83 MPH, just so you can tell the benefits of cuttting the fenders.
